myth of the 90 degree turn to dig or not to dig??????It has been told on the forums that if you get a signal and turn 90 degrees on it and it turns to iron or junk you should leave it as it would be junk.

Best of luck to all of you out there. Nice to follow along with your posts as Fall weather rolls into Winter. Lots to be grateful for as we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday.

And a cherry picker will do the 90° thing - if the signal changes walk on - that is what cherry picking is.

But that is just MHO.

Thank for your response.

So I don't have to deal with jerks.. for some reason seems people are hostile a lot of times these days and I don't have the time to deal with it and I don't feel like dealing with it either. On the forums it can be moderated but on youtube it cant.

I hunt in severely trash infested areas because I like to pick out what others skip over, and I listen for that little high tone blip in all the noise.

Quote2 Much Trash
Calabash this was a good post.
Could never figure out why some folks get a good signal, one way hit or two, then, circle it with the coil and if it goes away they don't dig it. Why look for a reason not to dig . Like arguing with a stop sign. Walk behind it and the argument is over. Good video Pal. You helped some folks. :thumbup:

I think many of the old timers, like myself, are trying to figure if the signal is a possible coin (or other good target) or is being generated off the point of a rusty nail. Boy I've dug A LOT of rusty nails over the years. SOME of those 1-way targets are coins in odd positions or next to trash, like Del indicated above, and some of them are deep rusty nails.

But like mentioned above, as the commonly hunted locations continue to get pressure from detectorists, you've got to find a way to help your odds. Tuning your ear to the sounds and digging some questionable targets is a way to pick up a few extra keepers.

As for the comment about years in the hobby equating to expertise, I think it really depends on the individual. There are things you learn detecting only thru experience. If you're new and get out a lot, you gain experience more quickly. If you hunt with others, you can compare notes and learn even more quickly. I think watching videos can help, IF the person hunting is explaining things as they go along rather than just showing you what they found. (Look what I found videos are nice for generating some excitement to get out and hunt, if you need that) Instructional videos are a different thing where you get to see how the hunter sets up their machine and HEAR the signals and follow along with the hunter. This type of thing accelerates learning.

Being willing to experiment is also key. Some people get so anxious to dig up targets as fast as they can, (like pulling the slot machine handle) they miss the opportunity to try different settings to see how well they can predict a target.

Best of luck out in the field.

Wow. Who's the one with the attitude ? The man is just passing on some knowledge to some of us less experienced diggers. I for one appreciate any help I can get for my limited times that I do get to hunt. I've watched some of his videos , and enjoyed seeing his finds and his methods. So thank you Calabash Digger for your informative videos and post.

On your deeper targets( referring to coins) I usually don't get any signal when I turn 90 degrees. I've learned that the deep coins (6" to 9") usually have a small window you can hit, say around 20 to 30 degrees and that's the reason you can find these coins in hard hit areas by slowing down and going in a off pattern from the normal hunting pattern.
Earlier this year, about a month ago I found this 1902 barber 1/2 dollar down between 8" and 9" in an area that has been hunted hard, it was in a public park where everybody goes when they get there 1st detector. It would only give me a faint signal from a small window but that's how I got.
